Unpopular Bookish Opinions

And I'm back for another week of Top Ten Tuesday! This prompt was really interesting for me, and I'm sure that there were be a lot of really interesting responses, since none of us have the same opinions. I chose four really specific things I want to argue and six that are just facts. So let's get started! Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly blog meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl Book quotes in book reviews. I seriously don't understand this because yeah, I might laugh at a certain quote or something, but I never get this involved into recording it and keeping it. I never get this involved into this idea ever. Owning so many copies of the same book. I mean, do what you what and I understand that there are a bunch of different covers that are beautiful, but I don't understand dropping that much money on a book when you could buy another book that you haven't read yet or don't own. It might be cool to have all these pretty covers, but that's a lot of...

Young Adult Romance Recommendations

It's time for another Top Ten Tuesday ! I had a lot of fun and an easy time writing this post, and I can't wait to see how everyone else ended up taking this prompt in their own direction. As soon as I saw this, I knew that I would be making a list of my top ten books in young adult romance. I did go a little back and forth between contemporary and romance, but narrowing it down to romance made it easier to come up with a list of only ten books. These books are in no particular order, because it would seriously be far too hard to try to sort through all of these books, all that I absolutely love. So let's get started! These are books that I would definitely recommend for anyone who read young adult romances. They are so cute and you will definitely end up shipping the couples in the end. Catching Jordan is the first young adult romance book I ever read and definitely the reason why I fell in love with the genre. Also, so many of the other Hundred Oaks books are amaz...

Ten Years of Favorite Books

Welcome to this week's Top Ten Tuesday! This week, the topic is favorite books from the last ten years, including one from each year. This is a really cool idea, though it was interesting to see which years I struggled to come up with books for, since I did grow up significantly during this timeframe as I'm only nineteen now. So let's get started! Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly blog meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl 2019: Just for Clicks This book really fits in a modern day and I loved reading it so much. You can check out my book review here, but there were twists that were just foreshadowed enough to be a shock and still make sense. 2018: The Astonishing Color of After There is so much going on inside this story and I loved every single bit of it, especially as realities twisted and bits of the past were discovered in this exploration of culture and family. It is a little bit of a longer book, but is definitely worth the time to read it. 2017: They Both ...

Page to Screen Adaptations

It's another Top Ten Tuesday Post! Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly blog meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl . I actually have an old post about adaptations here that you can check out, but for this freebie, I honestly ended up going really free on my list. Some of these following works, I have read and watched. Some I've only read. Some I've only watched and have been too afraid of expectations to start the book. So let's get into it now! 1. The Sun is Also A Star This movie comes out this weekend and honestly, I am just so freaking excited for it. I adored the book so much and definitely would recommend it to anyone and everyone. I'm not going to reread it before I see the movie or else I'll end up judging the movie mostly on differences from the book, but a reread is definitely in order at some point in the near future. 2. The Hunger Games I was in middle school when the trilogy and the first two movies were the hot stuff. Honestly, I was a little...

Characters I Relate To

I'm finally off hiatus and back to Top Ten Tuesday! This week's prompt is characters that remind me of myself. Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly blog meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl . This is not a completely straightforward prompt for me, since I find myself in small ways in most characters. While I cannot come up with characters that I feel like I completely relate to, I tried to find the top ten characters that I relate the most with, particularly in my first experience of reading the particular book that the character is from. 1. Annabeth Chase from Percy Jackson and the Olympians Honestly, this is the character who I wanted to be when I was younger and I love her so much. I literally thought about being her for Halloween one year. Smart with major focusing issues? That is seriously all that I do. Also design is super cool, and well I don't pretend to be as good as Annabeth, I still find this type of thinking interesting. I'm not good at drawing, but my mi...

Top 2018 Reads

In 2018, I managed to read a total of 67 books. When I told my sister this, she frowned and told me that that seemed awfully low. While I set my goal for one book higher than this for the new year (link to goals post here), I also read some incredible books in 2018. These are all found on my favorites books on goodreads, but I only included the ones that I read in the first time in 2018, which totaled to 9 books. While I would have preferred a top 10 list, a top 9 list will just have to do. These books are all books that made my feel. Most of them had tears and gasps, but I thoroughly enjoyed all of them and knew that they had to go onto my favorites shelf. I am likely to reread all of them (at least two this year because of series). Anyway, here goes top 9 books of 2018. 9. The Problem With Forever by Jennifer L. Armentrout This book features a girl going to public school for the first time since being adopted two years ago after living in an abusive foster home, where she ...
